Safety
Operation
Before operating game, read this manual. Failure to properly install and operate this game could result in
malfunction or accident. Operate the game in accordance with the manual.
Transporting
The cabinet is very heavy. Because the monitor is high, the cabinet is also very top-heavy. Use appropriate
care when moving or transporting cabinet. It contains fragile glass and electronic components. Avoid rough
handling.
Handling Components
Many components are extremely sensitive to handling, environmental and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
events—especially the computer. Do not handle it roughly. Before servicing, call your distributor and inquire
about the PC warranty. Use proper ESD procedures when servicing. Protect components from harmful
environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, excessive moisture or other damaging effects.
Disconnect Power
Always turn the power off and unplug the unit before servicing or making adjustments unless otherwise
instructed. Installing or repairing components while power is on can damage the components and void the
warranty.
Grounding
Avoid electrical shock. Do not plug in AC power until you have inspected and properly grounded the unit.
Only plug into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug or cut off the ground pin on the line
cord.
Electrical Shocks
There is no isolation transformer in the cabinet. Disconnect AC power before servicing. However, be aware
that lethal voltages can remain in the electronic components even when AC power is disconnected. Use
extreme caution when servicing. Verify that there is a working ground connection. If the unit sustains water
damage, cease using it immediately and unplug AC power.
Monitor
The monitor contains no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to service the monitor.
Power Selector
Before installing game, ensure the voltage on the PC and power supply is set properly. There is a 115/230
VAC selector switch that must be set for the correct voltage for your site. The setting must match the line
voltage at the installation site.
Power Cord
If the power cord is damaged or lost, replace it with an identical cord as supplied by the manufacturer or an
authorized service agent.

Snowboarder™ Operator’s Manual

Surge Suppressor
It is recommended that you plug your game’s power cord into a surge suppressor to help protect from power
surges that may damage sensitive electronic components.
Water and Other Liquid Sources
Do not install game near sprinkler or other water jet sources. Do not use water jet to clean game. Keep
minimum clearance behind game and wall for proper ventilation but also prevent access of liquid from spills
and sprays from entering ventilation holes.
Connectors
When servicing machine, ensure all connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip in easily, do not force
them. Connectors are often keyed and only connect one way. Check for correct orientation.
Computer
The computer contains sensitive components, including a hard drive. Do not handle it roughly. Call your
distributor before servicing its internal components. Ask about warranty information as it relates to the PC.
Do not turn the PC power switch on or off. It should remain permanently in the ON position.
Cycle AC power on or off with the cabinet power switch.
A dongle has been inserted into one of the USB ports. This is required for game play.
Do not remove the dongle except for troubleshooting purposes.
Tempered Glass Warning
When handling the LCD display glass cover take especial care and set the glass down softly on a flat surface
free of debris. The edge of the glass is sensitive to hard impact. Shattered glass from the can travel long
distances and cause bodily injury. Use proper procedures when handling broken materials.
Hazard to Epileptics
A small portion of the population has an epileptic condition that may cause seizures. Affected persons
experience seizures while watching some television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have
not had seizures may still have an undetected epileptic condition. If anyone in your family has experienced
epilepsy symptoms (seizures or loss of awareness), consult your physical before using video games. While
children play video games, a parent should observe. Be alert to the following symptoms: dizziness, altered
vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation or convulsions. If
you or your child experiences these symptoms, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician.
Manual
Keep this manual available and ready for use. Please check our website www.rawthrills.com for the latest
information regarding this and other Raw Thrills products. If the game fails to function properly, turn off the
machine and unplug the AC line cord. Contact your local distributor. Your warranty, when applicable, lasts 60
days from your purchase date. You may not reproduce this document or any of its contents without written
authorization from Raw Thrills, Inc. or Play Mechanix™ Inc.
